TAKE YOUR PARTNERS PLEASE!

Suburban witches, defiant old ladies, ageing monsters, suicidal Lottery winners, wolf men, dolphin women and middle-aged manufacturers of erotic leatherwear: in Joanne Harris's first collection of short stories the miraculous goes hand-in-hand with the mundane, the sour with the sweet, and the beautiful, the grotesque, the seductive and the disturbing are never more than one step away.

This is an eclectic selection of tales for our times that shows a side to Joanne Harris you have never seen before.

So go on, be tempted. After all, it's only dancing.
